'Stamp Out Hunger' today

PORTLAND, Ore. – If you’re feeling charitable, you can help "stamp out hunger" on Saturday.

“Stamp Out Hunger” is the annual food drive by the Oregon Food Bank and Oregon State Association of Letter Carriers. Postal carriers in Oregon and southwest Washington delivered 1.5 million yellow, biodegradable bags to homes this week.

If you would like to donate, simply fill the bag with non-perishable food – like canned soups, cereal and pasta – and leave it outside for your mail carrier. Items like peanut butter and tuna fish are in high demand for kids, since schools and food pantries need help with their summer lunch programs.

“Nobody raises more food in one day than letter carriers do across the country  by l,” said Kevin Card, the president of the Oregon State Association of Letter Carriers. “It's that one time we can work with our customers to do something really incredible.”

The drive can bring in two million pounds of food for Oregon and southwest Washington; however, donations were down by 18 percent last year. Organizers do not know the reason.

Grand opening ceremony for Boring Station Trailhead Park set for May 19

Make your way out to the Boring Station Trailhead Park at 11 a.m. May 19 for its grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The Boring Station Trailhead Park was a stop and shipping location during streetcar operation. Clackamas County Parks purchased nearly seven acres from the Union Pacific Railroad in 1999, from SE Dee Street to 1/3 mile south of Highway 212. Community organizations have invested both time and resources into planning and developing the site. The Friends of Boring Station Trailhead Park (FBSTP), in conjunction with the Boring-Damascus Grange and the Boring Community Planning Organization, have cleared the site of debris and resurfaced it with sand and gravel. They have also contributed to bringing a stage, electrical access, water and sewer service, storage area, and a monument to the site.
